Deluxe Aluminium Sliding Loft Ladder [Misc.]

Once installed, it is sturdy and easy to use . A must have for a loft with high ceiling.

I agree with all the comments in other reviews so I won't repeat them. I would like to add a couple. I found refitting the trap door very tedious. Previously, it was a simple push up affair resting on the ledge around the opening. It had to be cut to fit so it would drop down. Positioning the hinges so it would fit in the opening was difficult. Incidentally, don't try to get away with using the existing trap door if it is not the right thickness. I did and had to replace it with one of the correct thickness. Like so many products, the screws supplied were rubbish and I replaced them with Posidrives. The hinges, although useable, were also sub standard and very flimsy. Lastly, because of the need to leave a gap round the trap door to enable it to open smoothly, there is the potential for draughts from the loft. Anybody solved this one?

Arrived on time good quality .Took a while to find fitting instructions( on back of picture on box)

Very sturdy

Disappointed with this product. At a premium price, I was expecting a robust, well made product.However, the side rails flex uncomfortably and one bent at the foot end of the ladder during installation, reducing confidence in the product. A simple dowel or bar between the two feet would have prevented this from happening.The hand rails are also rather flimsy and could do with a support in the center.Plus the spring mechanism is a bit of a trip hazard.

good but could not use,it was too big.had to return it

Basically the title says it all. The instructions are mainly pictorial and require careful study. You'll find the instructions suggest the wrong screws in one or two places and I also had to change the stop positions once the ladder was in place. Like other reviewers, I found the ladder 'stiff' in operation and I've yet to resolve this. Having said that, better that the ladder is stiff than it slides too easily and becomes dangerous to use. Once installed it is without doubt a very study ladder with wide and deep steps.

A fantastic product. Easily fitted, simple to use and very safe and stable, with the added bonus of two handrails.
